Optical tweezers are a rapidly growing technology, and have opened up a wide variety of research applications in recent years. The devices operate by trapping particles at the focal points of tightly focused laser beams, allowing researchers to manipulate the objects without any physical contact. So far, optical tweezers have been used to confine objects
Our hosts Timothy, April, Krista and Danny talk about the mid-season finale. The surprise ending/death of a badass character.

Ip Man: Kung Fu Master is the latest film to portray the legendary grandmaster of Wing Chun Kung Fu, Ip Man, the real life teacher of Bruce Lee who lived from 1983 to 1972. All the films have been heavily fictionalized, and the Ip Man film franchise is far from unified. There have been multiple
It’s the time of year when you can’t enter a store without hearing those familiar holiday jingles as your shopping soundtrack. With many families reducing their gatherings this year, it’s a good time to snuggle up, stay in, and share some Christmas movies with your kids. Here are some of the best that Disney+ has
Generations of music fans know the Bee Gees — British-born, Australia-based brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb — as the musical act that created the songs for Saturday Night Fever, the 1978 movie that made John Travolta a star and catapulted what was known at the time as “disco” music to the forefront of pop

Casting news for Spider-Man 3, has been surreal and chaotic—in the best possible way. Now, in the aftermath of reports that villains from previous franchise iterations like Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Jamie Foxx’s Electro will return (in a manner not yet known), a strong rumor is now pointing to the addition of a displaced
Cyberpunk 2077 is the buggy nightmare that we expected it to be, but there is a chance that you can optimize the game’s often poor performance by adjusting a few key settings. While console gamers are largely out of luck when it comes to viable ways to control Cyberpunk 2077‘s performance (it seems that the
In case you missed our rundown of some of Cyberpunk 2077‘s most notable bugs, let’s take a moment to confirm that the rumors are true. Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredibly buggy game that features a variety of audio, visual, and gameplay glitches. While the number of bugs you’ll encounter in Cyberpunk 2077 depends on your

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo researchers are reporting a new, two-dimensional transistor made of graphene and the compound molybdenum disulfide that could help usher in a new era of computing. As described in a paper accepted at the 2020 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting, which is taking place virtually next week, the transistor requires

Although robotics has reshaped and even redefined many industrial sectors, there still exists a gap between machines and humans in fields such as health and elderly care. For robots to safely manipulate or interact with fragile objects and living organisms, new strategies to enhance their perception while making their parts softer are needed. In fact,
Superman and Lois, the first Arrowverse DC TV series headlined by the Man of Steel (and the first live action show to actually put the word “Superman” in the title in 25 years) is arriving in February. And with this new series, a fresh start for the Man of Steel and family, Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman
While the movie industry continues to be roiled by the coronavirus pandemic, with release dates and distribution strategies seemingly changing daily, production has been more or less able to continue on some of the most highly anticipated films of the next few years. One of those is Jurassic World: Dominion, the sixth film overall in
They say that reality is stranger than fiction. While there’s definitely some truth to that old adage, reality is thankfully not often stranger than FX’s long-running classic comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Through 14, soon-to-be 15, seasons, the codependent Paddy’s Pub gang have engaged in some truly outrageous behavior. From staging an entire musical

For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world — Silicon Valley — bears its name. But silicon’s reign may not last forever. MIT researchers have found that an alloy called InGaAs (indium gallium arsenide) could hold the potential for smaller and more
When you think about it, the holiday season is an unusually dangerous time. Christmas and the subsequent year-end festivities typically involve large quantities of humans gathering together. And wherever large human gatherings go, disaster statistically usually follows. Even during this very strange Christmas season, in which families will (hopefully) forego mass gathering due to the
When Cobra Kai launched in 2018, it delivered a Crane Kick to the face of skepticism, one packed with humor, humanity and just the right amount of 1980s nostalgia for The Karate Kid films, whose continuity continues on the series. However, the just-dropped trailer for the show’s third season—its first as a Netflix native—has upped
Until until now, George Clooney’s efforts as a director have stayed firmly planted on Earth, with the stories that attract him being either inspired by true events (Good Night, and Good Luck) or tapped directly into the zeitgeist (The Ides of March). With The Midnight Sky, Clooney not only expands his horizons as a filmmaker,
